Frown Lines
Frown lines, or glabellar lines, are vertical wrinkles that form between the eyebrows due to repeated frowning or squinting. These lines can make a person appear angry or upset, which can affect self-esteem and social interactions. Anti-wrinkle treatments can effectively soften these lines, enhancing facial expressiveness and restoring a more relaxed and approachable look.
